What a key can do

The buttons you wish your keyboard had

Pick an action, give the key a name and an icon, and press it. DeckPad for Windows does the rest.

Open anything

Launch apps with their real icons, and jump to one that's already open instead of starting a second copy. Open websites, files and folders.

New

Glow

A neon edge and halo around any key, in eight colours or white.

Shortcuts and text

Press any key combination, or type a saved piece of text with one tap.

Media and volume

Play, pause and skip tracks. Volume up, down, mute, or straight to a level you choose.

System controls

Lock the PC, put it to sleep, show the desktop or take a screenshot.

OBS Studio

Switch scenes and start or stop streaming and recording, with OBS Studio 28 or newer. Streaming guides

Pages, folders, profiles

As many pages as you need, folders of keys, and a profile for each task.

Made for old phones

That phone in a drawer is perfect. DeckPad keeps the screen on while the deck is open and dims it when you're not touching it.

Screenshots of DeckPad on a Samsung phone, held sideways.

A Streaming page with Glow on: Streamlabs, OBS Studio, Start, Game Play, Paused, End, Go live and Record keys — **Streaming page, Glow on**Each key lit in its own colour.

A 5 by 3 deck: Files, Browser, Calculator, Task Manager, Notepad, media keys, Desktop, Lock, volume, Copy and Paste — **A 5×3 deck**Apps with their real icons, media, volume and system keys.

Edit deck mode: every key shows edit and delete badges, empty keys show a plus, with Delete page and Add page below — **Edit deck**Tap a key to change it, or + to add one.

The button editor: the key preview and title on the left, the Volume action's settings in the middle, and the searchable action list on the right — **The button editor**Key, settings and the action list side by side.

IconsA key takes its action's icon until you pick another.

The Keys per page dialog offering 3 by 2, 4 by 2, 5 by 3 and 8 by 4 — **Keys per page**Nothing is deleted when you pick a smaller grid.

The OBS Scene action in the editor, explaining that DeckPad can't reach OBS on port 4455 and how to turn on the WebSocket server — **OBS Scene key**When OBS can't be reached, DeckPad says why.

Connection

Wired for speed. Or not wired at all.

USB cable

A few milliseconds

The fastest way, and the phone charges while you use it
Uses Android's USB debugging: a one-time switch
Reconnects by itself when you unplug and replug

USB setup

Bluetooth

Tens of milliseconds

No cable and no developer options
Only connects to a PC already paired with the phone
An encrypted link, and DeckPad's pairing code still applies

Bluetooth setup

Use both: DeckPad takes the cable whenever it's plugged in and Bluetooth the rest of the time. Wi-Fi isn't supported yet.

Private by design

No account. No ads. No analytics. Your buttons live on your PC and your phone, and only travel between the two.

How it works

Set up in three steps

Install DeckPad for Windows

A small app that sits in the notification area next to the clock. It runs the actions; there's nothing to set up on the PC.

Download for Windows
Connect your phone

Plug it in with a USB cable (turn on USB debugging once), or choose your PC over Bluetooth if they're already paired.

USB setup · Bluetooth setup
Pair and press

Type the 6-digit code your PC shows into the phone. A starter deck is ready to go, and you can edit any key right on the phone.
